Sacagawea 1788-1812
Sophie S. Buckeye Room May 2013
Introduction Famous Quotation:"Everything I do is for my people." 1883
Best known for: Making the Lewis and Clark expedition work and happen.
What I find interesting: She is very brave and makes sure nothing goes wrong.
3 Key Qualities: 1. brave 2. persevered 3. over came a hardship/ challenge
I chose this person because... She's brave, we have a lot in common and she is a good role model.
Overcame a Hardship/Challenge Sacagawea got kidnapped at age 10, and got married at age13, and had a baby called Pomp. She had a busy life like getting kidnapped, having a baby, and doing stuff for the expedition.
Showed Compassion and Empathy She sold her best belt for a cape made of otter skins and gave it to Lewis. It was probably hard to give away the belt. She made food for all the soldiers and not for herself. It was probably hard to do all this stuff and only get a little food.
Took Action On May 14, a gust of wind hit the boat, Sacajawea dove for all the rattlesnake skins and the medicines but it all disappeared in the water's depth. It was probably hard to do it with the baby, I bet she was probably sad when she saw the medicines float away.
Persevered She never gave up when she was in the expedition. She worked so hard in the expedition it was probably very hard.
Impact: How Things are Different Today She changed how people thought of women because men thought women were not as good as men.
Viewed Problems as Opportunities One day there was a storm and they could not go to North Dakota but Sacagawea had her baby. Sacagawea was probably very happy to have a baby.
Demonstrated Bravery When Sacagawea was 10 the Minnetaree Indians attacked she got kidnapped. I would be scared, I wonder if Sacagawea was scared?
Learned from Mistakes She put an important layer on the buffalo skin coat so it would be more warm. She was probably very happy to be more warm.
Communicated and Shared When Sacagawea saw a buffalo coming she told Lewis to catch it so they could make a coat out of it. She was probably very helpful.
Author Talk I’m similar to my Change Maker because...we are open to new challenges.
My Change maker is connected to...Jane Goodall because they both persevered in hard conditions.
I’m a Change Maker when I... pick up trash and tell people to not pollute.
